[Episode 141] Taking a Step
After entrusting the residents of Noun-ri to Young-geun Lee, Si-woo Lee returned to Nuri recycling.
After meeting the residents at the town hall and returning to the office, he did work that he had not been able to do before.
Moon Jae-shin has been acting as the representative in his spare time and has been organizing the documents.
However, the documents required for payment by Lee Si-woo, the CEO, were still there.
“Even though I paid for it while working overtime every day, it was a huge amount.”
“I think it’s a small amount compared to the accident that the president made. I heard that you said that you would take over the incinerator without consulting us.”
sting-
As soon as he entered the office, Jaeshin Moon looked at him.
The takeover plan, which Lee Si-woo decided arbitrarily without consulting the board of directors, caused an uproar.
Lee Si-woo scratched his head at Moon Jae-shin’s eyes.
“I didn’t have time to discuss it. I’m sorry.”
“Well, the incinerator takeover is understandable. It is now the stage where we have to research and advance into a new treatment method other than crushing.”
“Vice President, the incineration plant will give Nuri a variety of opportunities. I apologize for making the decision on my own without consultation.”
Siu Yi bowed her head with sincerity.
When he heard from Lee Moo-yeol that the takeover of the incinerator was in progress, Moon Jae-shin did not know how surprised he was.
“May I ask why you chose Yongin Waste Incinerator, which has a low utilization value?”
“We haven’t always taken the easy road. In particular, the industry related to waste still needs to grow further. It is not just one or two things that are lacking.”
We are now free from the title of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that we enjoy.
It has achieved countless growths that have been enjoyed over the years, and the sales of waste, scrap metal, and landscaping affiliates are reaching record highs.
“Trying to take over the Yongin incinerator may be like going down a thorny road.”
“I still want to try it. We have to show how much Nuri is growing.”
Originally, Siwoo Lee’s dream was to establish a steel mill.
But now that dream and goal have changed.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t establish a steel mill.
But at least I wanted to prove that Nuri Recycling has developed the recycling industry.
“We are looking for companies to invest in. To operate the incinerator, it will be difficult for Nuri alone.”
“Why do you think so?”
“No matter how old the facility is, the incinerator facility will have to be taken over. It’s not a job that will end in billions of dollars.”
“You’ll see that when you see it. Vice President, will you trust me?”
“I am a person who always trusts and follows the CEO.”
The two looked at each other and smiled brightly.
Then, after seeing the village, all the villagers came into Nuri Recycling.
Lee Moo-yeol opened the door of the office and came in and reported.
“Representative Noun Lee has arrived.”
“Please take me inside. I have something important to say from now on.”
“Yes, sir.”
Shortly after he left, Kim Moon-geun was seen crawling into the office.
Si-woo Lee, who guided him to his seat, sat facing him.
“Did you have a good look?”
“It was worth taking the time today to visit the villagers and Nuri.”
“Fortunately, the.”
“But what good is this? The land around the village has already become polluted, and the city will not even look at the village after the incinerator relocation is completed.”
Kim Moon-geun’s eyes looked sad.
If the village you live in had met a business like Nuri Recycling, would your life have been different?
It was a village where I had lived for half of my life.
It was difficult for them to leave the place where their ancestors lived, so they endured until this point.
“Do you really think so?”
“The city doesn’t even care about the weak and weak like us.”
“As CEO Kim said, if we move the incinerator, we may not want to purify the land again.”
“The villagers here seemed happy. I am envious of people who continue to lead an active life and strive to live a better life.”
“CEO Kim, I actually invited the villagers today for a reason.”
“… For what reason?”
“We have communicated our intention to take over the Yongin incinerator from Nuri Recycling to the city. At the same time, I am sorry. I don’t know if it’s the right thing to try to build a waste plant again at a lost incinerator.”
He conveyed his intention to build a waste site again on top of the incinerator, which was left due to the protests of the residents.
Kim Moon-geun closed his eyes at Lee Si-woo’s heavy expression.
perhaps… Wouldn’t it be different if you enjoyed it?
Wouldn’t it improve the quality of life differently from the existing incinerator operation method?
“Why would you want to acquire an aging and underutilized incinerator? I am ignorant of the whole business, but I know that the Yongin Incinerator is not worth taking over.”
“Someone thought that nature had to be repaired. And I want it to be Nuri.”
“… To be honest, the villagers will not be happy with your decision.”
“I know. But for the village to be preserved, someone has to take responsibility.”
There was no need to take responsibility for it.
However, there was a high possibility that the city would leave the land unattended, saying that the cost of cleaning up would be huge.
Action had to be taken before the land deteriorated further.
“Are you going to build a shredding plant on the spot?”
“We will build an incinerator.”
“… Do you think the villagers who have suffered major damage from the incinerator will tolerate it?”
“I will do my best, even if it is impossible. We will work to bring the ruined land back to life. If you trust Nuri just once, I will surely repay you for that trust.”
Si-woo’s eyes were full of earnestness.
“Honestly, I thought that Nuri and the CEO were being overrated by the media. But I was wrong.”
“… CEO.”
“Can you help me to live a happy life in the village of Noun-ri like this village?”
If I hadn’t looked around, I might have fiercely opposed Lee Si-woo’s decision.
But the moment I saw Nuri and the village coexist, my thoughts changed.
“I will make it possible. Saying that you will try is not enough. We will unconditionally revive the village.”
It is impossible to purify in a short time.
However, if you take the time to clean up the land, you have decided that it is possible.
“I will take responsibility for persuading the residents.”
“thank you. Thank you very much.”
Siwoo Lee got up from his seat and bowed his head politely.
Kim Moon-geun bowed his head with a tearful expression on his face.
“I am grateful. Thank you for agreeing to take responsibility for the land you can give up.”
I was fooled once again and wanted to trust Siwoo Lee.
Like this village, if Norun-ri could develop, if the ruined land could be purified, anything could be done.
“I will extract Noh Un-ri’s position as quickly as possible and deliver it to the city.”
“Until you have to… … .”
“We will create a stage where the representative can perform properly. Others may see my choice as foolish, but I think this is the best option.”
He assured me that he would purify the irrelevant Noun-ri.
He wanted to make the people support his decision.
Kim Moon-geun got up from his seat, bowed his head politely, and went out of the office.

＜Nuri Recycling, Responsible for Responsible for Purifying the Damaged Nature of the Yongin Waste Incinerator＞
＜Noun-ri residents express support for Nuri recycling.＞
Baek Cheon-gi laughed at the article posted today in the mayor’s office.
I wanted to express my respect beyond words of greatness.
“This is a statement from the residents of Noun-ri, mayor.”
A week after visiting Nuri, under the leadership of Kim Moon-geun, villagers supported Nuri recycling.
In addition to conducting interviews with reporters, he also delivered a statement of position to the mayor.
“There were times when I wondered what the CEO of a waste company could do.”
“I was like the mayor.”
“It wasn’t enough to solve the problem of the Suwon incinerator in a week, so it turned the hearts of the strong-willed residents… … .”
He was such a great person.
Finally, I was convinced that a well-recognized waste company had appeared in Korea.
“The residents of Noun-ri have issued a statement asking us to provide land for the incinerator free of charge. Even if the incinerator is relocated, it will not help in the purification of the land, so if we hand over the land unconditionally, we will cover the damage caused to the village and move on.”
“Give the land over for free… … .”
“Of course, from the perspective of the city, Nuri may be able to cover some of the costs for relocating the incinerator, but that may cause great criticism.”
It even changed the hearts of the residents who had strongly shouted about relocating the incinerator.
Anyway, Baek Cheon-gi is ready to do anything to attract Nuri recycling.
“What is the judgment of the waste division?”
“Even if the incinerator is relocated, it seems that we have decided that it will cost an astronomical amount of money to clean up the land.”
“When civil servants who eat the country’s rust think one-dimensionally… tt.”
I do not want to take any responsibility for the land of the ruined incinerator.
I could see him rolling his thin head trying to pass all the responsibilities to Nuri Recycling.
“Even if you can see him rolling his head, he looks so good.”
“Unfortunately… There are many people in charge who think like that, Mayor.”
“This guy’s organization doesn’t change no matter how insulting it is. tt.”
Baek Cheon-gi sighed and clicked his tongue.
The lieutenant’s face, looking at him, was also dark.
“It’s a poem, but Nuri should take care of it, isn’t this saying?”
“There is no face.”
“Deliver it to Nuri Recycling. He promised to hand over the site and facilities of the incinerator without conditions. Also, the city will do its best to support the construction of a new incinerator.”
“I will deliver it right away.”
“And to do everything we can to ensure that the construction can be done without any problems. There is no need to change the purpose, and you should ask CEO Lee Si-woo what he needs to do and deal with it as quickly as possible.”
The city’s position was forwarded to Nuri Recycling.

At that time, Si-woo Lee, who was looking around the Yongin waste incinerator, looked at Lee Min-gu standing next to him.
“Can you bring these trees back to life?”
“There will be trees that can be saved. However… Most of the trees are already polluted.”
“… It’s a shame.”
“However, most of the polluted trees can be brought back to life. It will take time.”
Lee Min-gu made plans for the future by checking the trees around the Yongin incinerator.
“If polluted trees are carefully cared for in a clean environment, the trees will recover their life within a year.”
“then… The first thing we should do is take out the trees.”
“That’s right. And the problem is that to purify the land, it seems that the trees need to be replaced once a year.”
Not only was it time consuming, but the cost was also serious.
But unconditionally, I wanted to show that the purification of this land was successful.
“It’s going to be a tougher fight than I thought.”
“With the Nuri landscape a year ago, such a plan would not have been possible. But now it is different.”
Lee Si-woo nodded at Lee Min-gu’s gaze, looking at him with determined eyes.
“Nothing is impossible. But it just costs time and money.”
“If you are the CEO, I am sure you can do it. I and all the staff at Nuri Jojo are supporting you.”
“It’s not like we’ve only walked the easy way. Isn’t that right, sir?”
“you’re right.”
“Whew… … .”
After exhaling deeply, Siwoo Lee got down on one knee and touched the soil with his hand.
With his eyes closed, Siwoo Lee muttered his own wind.
‘I hope that this ruined land can be brought back to life… … .’
Although Lee Min-goo was standing next to Si-woo Lee, the representatives of Nuri stood behind him.
Jun-sik Jin, who became the CEO of the scrap metal affiliate, and all the board members canceled their schedule today and came here with Si-woo Lee.
“Is it possible, deputy chief?”
“You just have to believe in the power of the CEO and push forward. After that, we will support you.”
